Bongani Mountain Camp

Bongani Mountain Lodge is situated in the 8,000 hectare Mthethomusha Game Reserve, bordering the world-famous Kruger National Park in South Africa. Lion, leopard, rhino, elephant and buffalo walk ancient paths once used by the San (Bushman) people. Over 250 San rock art paintings, estimated to be 1,500 years old, are found in the Reserve, the greatest concentration of rock art per square metre on earth.

Bongani is a low-risk malaria destination due to the altitude of the lodge, which offers an unforgettable mountain safari with breathtaking views of the surrounding African bush.

Experienced rangers and Swazi trackers lead interpretive game-drives in open 4x4 safari vehicles, and interpretive bush walks.

Guests are also welcome to visit the local communities and view ongoing empowerment initiatives, in addition to meeting the local sangoma (medicine man).

Bongani's cosy bar / library, dining and sitting areas feature striking furniture with ethnic fabrics and generous decks with magnificent wraparound views.

Bongani's rooms are ideal for families, groups or individual travellers and are set atop the Malelane Lebombo Mountains with private decks featuring magnificent wraparound views.

All chalets and suites, each with 2 en-suite bathrooms and a private deck, are a subtle blend of timber and thatch, spaciously spread out across an impressive mountain ridge, within easy walking distance from the guest areas perched above.
